Thrill: Kevin, 27, from Chicago, is addicted to wearing orthopedic casts - even though he never had any broken any bones (Image: TLC)

Kevin, from Chicago, is addicted to wearing orthopedic casts - even though he never had any broken any bones.

The 27-year-old has spent over $50,000 on his weird fetish so far - which sees him usually wear a cast on his arm or leg - although occasionally he does go out with a double arm cast on.

Kevin became obsessed with casts after breaking his arm while roller skating when he was 12. Now he wears his casts out in public - and even uses them as a way to chat up women.

"It feels amazing, it gives me a high," he said.

"My dream date is to take a girl out in a full cast."

Kevin was dumped by one fiancee because of his obsession and while TLC's cameras rolled his latest girlfriend Samantha also gave him an ultimatum - the casts or her.

In the end decided he loved casting more than Samantha and they too broke-up.

Thirsty work: Evelyn, 27, from Missouri, even sprays the air freshener in her mouth while at work at a furniture store

Evelyn, from Missouri has been addicted to spraying air freshener in her mouth and 'drinking' it every day.

The 27-year-old calls it 'drinking' as the spray turns to liquid and then she swallows it.

She consumes 20 cans of air freshener a week.

"I love it, I love the taste. But only fresh linen. That's the best one. The others don't taste like they smell. Apple Crisp is like dirt."

After her fiance Ricky complained Evelyn agreed to visit a doctor who warned her drinking air freshener could kill her. She agreed to try and give it up for the sake of her two sons but despite cutting back she is addicted to spraying every day.

Advice: Melissa is addicted to calling psychic hotlines, which can cost up to $5 a minute, as well as have psychics come to her home (Image: TLC)

Melissa, from Knoxville, Tennessee, has spent $500,000 in the past five years talking to psychics.

The 43-year-old calls them up to three times a day and asks about every issue in her life, including problems she believes her dog is having.

Melissa calls both psychic hotlines, which can cost up to $5 a minute, as well as have psychics come to her home.

She began consulting psychics five years ago when she had brain surgery and was then disagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) within a few months of each other.

While she has managed to curb the number of sessions and doesn't call psychics every day now, she hasn't managed to stop completely.

Tribal: Sydney's aim to stretch her neck to a foot long (Image: TLC)

Sydney, from Los Angeles, desperately wants to look like one of the Padaung women of the Kayan tribe from Burma who wear brass neck coils to elongate their necks.

The 29-year-old has spent over $1,000 creating her own brass neck ring, which is held together with special glue.

She currently has 16 rings which have stretched her neck by 5 inches, but her aim is to stretch her neck to 12 inches - a foot long.

The addict admits she has trouble driving and parking because her range of movement is limited and has had to change the way she eats - but she still only takes the coils off twice a year.
